Cervantes & Bembo: a madrigal

I am looking for a literal or poetic translation of the either the original Bembo or Cervantes's translation, even perhaps offering commentary, annotations or ideas about the place of this madrigal in the larger work. I am not interested in already published translations.

Don Quijote (II, 68):

Amor, cuando yo pienso
En el mal que me das terrible y fuerte,
Voy corriendoa la muerte,
Pensando asi acabar mi mal inmenso.
Mas en Ilegandoa l paso,
Que es puerto en este mar de mi tormento,
Tanta alegria siento,
Que la vida se esfuerza, y no le paso.
Asi el vivir me mata,
Que la muerte me torna a dar la vida.
iOh condici6n no oidal
La que conmigo muerte y vida trata!


Bembo: Gli Asolani, o Los Asolanos (1515)

Quand'io penso al martire,
Amor, che tu mi dai gravoso e forte,
Corro per gir a morte,
Cost sperando i miei danni finire.
Ma poi ch'io giungo al passo Ch'?
porto in questo mar d'ogni tormento,
Tanto piacer mi sento,
Che l'almas i rinforza,o nd'ion ol passo.
Cost il viver m'ancide:
Cosi la morte mi ritorna in vita.
O miseria infinita,
Che l'uno apporta e l'altra non recide.

What we do

What freedom there is
is in our search for
truth is an open
ing

 

All the rest is

 

what we do
what we do
what we do

 

Like water

falling 

through rock.
